To calculate your monthly baseline revenue:

Start off by calculating how much money you need to take home from your business each month to take care of your bills and life expenses. This doesn’t need to be your dream salary for now, just how much you need to not take on personal debt to pay your bills each month. Add on a 25-30% buffer for taxes.
Then, calculate your monthly expenses. This includes your employees’ salaries and payroll taxes, office space, software subscriptions, insurance, etc. As you're gathering these numbers, it’s a great time to evaluate all your expenses and see what unnecessary expenses can be cut.
Your owner’s pay plus your monthly recurring expenses equals your monthly baseline pay. That total is how much money you need to bring in for revenue every month to cover your expenses and not stress about money in your business. Anything extra is icing on the cake that can go towards savings, investments, etc.
